With a knockout lineup of gorgeous bartenders, bottle service that won’t break the bank, a walk-away daiquiri bar and casual dress code, Rockhouse is a must-visit hot spot for locals and tourists alike.

Blending a local dive bar with the glamour of Sin City’s party scene at a convenient center Strip location, Rockhouse is the top party destination on the Strip. Las Vegas’ only ultra-dive bar features top-notch lighting and sound with the best DJs in Las Vegas blending upbeat rock, hip-hop and dance. With beautiful bartenders pouring drinks from the bar tops, playing in the giant bird cage and dangling from tire swings suspended from the ceiling, Rockhouse is the spot where the party never stops.   Rockhouse is located on Las Vegas Blvd. in front of Imperial Palace, directly across from Caesars Palace in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip.  The daiquiri and main bar open daily at 10 a.m. and the adjacent nightclub is open from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly.

BUSH and Chevelle at The Joint tonight

 Grammy-nominated alternative rock band Bush experienced early success with the release of its debut album Sixteen Stone in 1994. The album sold more than 10 million albums, quickly securing Bush as one of the top rock bands in the United States. Their latest project, The Sea of Memories, is developed on the notion that one has to know where they came from to know where they’re going. Playing on the themes and sounds of early albums Sixteen Stone and The Science of Things, The Sea of Memories returns to the band’s roots making it the first indie project for Bush since the early 1990s. 

Chicago-based trio Chevelle is set to release its fifth studio album Sci-Fi Crimes on Thursday, Sept. 1 including new single “Jars,” which entered the Top 20 two weeks after its release. 

Collaborating with groups such as 30 Seconds to Mars, Deftones and Jane’s Addiction, Sci-Fi Crimes is a follow-up of Chevelle’s 2007 albumVena Sera.

Bodies the Exhibition goes Pink! Support, Create Awareness for Breast Cancer!

Throughout the entire month of October, BODIES… The Exhibition offers pink-clad Nevada residents a complimentary audio tour with the purchase of admission to the Exhibition in an effort to educate and raise awareness for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Whether it’s a pink shirt, pink tie or a pair of pink socks, the Exhibition wants to share what’s inside the miraculous body with the hope that guests walk away feeling empowered and motivated to create positive lifestyle changes that may save their life.

According to Susan G. Komen’s website, the following lifestyle factors affect breast cancer risk:

    Among American women, an estimated 230,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in 2011.

    Being overweight before menopause decreases a woman’s risk; however, after menopause the risk increases by 30 to 60 percent.

    Research compiled from 53 different studies showed that for every one alcoholic drink consumed per day, the risk of breast cancer increased approximately seven percent. Women who have two to three drinks per day have a 20 percent greater risk.

    As a whole, evidence shows that regular exercise appears to lower breast cancer risk by approximately 20 percent. Furthermore, regular exercise after diagnosis increases overall survival among breast cancer survivors. This may be due to the positive mood and improved physical condition and movement that regular exercise promotes, which can enhance quality of life.

Described as a “life-changing experience,” BODIES…The Exhibition is one of the most fascinating and educational experiences in Las Vegas. The real human bodies have been meticulously dissected, preserved through an innovative process and respectfully presented, giving visitors the opportunity to view the beauty and complexity of their own organs and systems like never before. In addition to providing an up-close look inside our skeletal, muscular, respiratory and circulatory systems, the Exhibition encourages healthy lifestyle choices.  Authentic human specimens illustrate the damage caused to organs by drinking, smoking, over-eating and lack of exercise. 

To receive a complimentary audio tour, guests must purchase tickets to the Exhibition, wear an outwardly visible piece of pink clothing and show their Nevada ID at the box office. Regularly priced tickets are $32 for adults, $30 for seniors, $24 for children 4 – 12 years of age and $29 for locals. The Exhibition is open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. with last admission at 9 p.m. It is recommended that children 12 and under are accompanied by a teacher or parent as an adult guide. For additional information or to reserve tickets by phone, call 800-557-7428 or 702-262-4400.

Love Art? Martin Lawrence Gallery opening at The Forum Shops

 They say everything is bigger in Las Vegas, and the team from Martin Lawrence Galleries took that statement literally by building and opening what just may be the  biggest art gallery in the United States in the heart of The Forum Shops at Caesars.  With more than 26,000 square feet of gallery, exhibition and event space, the new Martin Lawrence Galleries is a masterpiece unto itself.  It has soaring 80 foot ceilings to a 20-foot tall neon “ART” sign to huge “guillotine” walls that can be raised and lowered to feature special exhibitions to an enormous projection wall and booming sound system. Both the physical space and the amazing art will be sure to awe and inspire. 

In addition to the main gallery area, there will soon be a spectacular exhibition/event space which will become home to Las Vegas’ premiere art events, one-of-a-kind art exhibitions and distinctive pairings of fashion, food and entertainment with the exciting world of art.  “We couldn’t be more excited about bringing our collections, our artists and our international expertise to Las Vegas,” explains Gallery Director, Stacie Goulet.  “We have been looking for the right space for many years, and when we saw this amazing location within The Forum Shops, we knew we had to create a very special gallery space.  We didn’t build it big just for the sake of being big.  We wanted to showcase a range of art and artists that would appeal to the novice as well as to the collector – that is what Martin Lawrence Galleries is all about.  Whether you are looking for a unique Warhol or Chagall or  signed limited edition prints by one of our exclusive artists such as Philippe Bertho, Robert Deyber, Felix Mas or Erté, you can find it in our gallery.” 

Accessible and inviting, The Martin Lawrence Galleries in The Forum Shops was created to enable the guest to discover and enjoy art around every turn.  With its soaring ceilings, bright lights, incredible music soundscape and visual arts projected on the main back wall, walking through the gallery is an escape from the sights and sounds of the Strip just beyond, but at the same time, just as exciting to experience.  With a range of art that spans the spectrum from the hundreds of dollars to the millions of dollars, and features everything from original works by Picasso and Warhol to hand-signed serigraphs  by Erté and Robert Deyber,  the Martin Lawrence Galleries brings art to a new level for both Las Vegas residents and tourists alike.

“While the gallery space has already exceeded our expectations, we cannot wait to open the next phase of the gallery,” adds Ms. Goulet.  “There is truly nothing like it in Las Vegas or maybe anywhere.  We are creating a place where art will take center-stage as only it can in Las Vegas.  With over 13,500 square-feet of additional space, its size  and scope will allow us to bring events and exhibitions which will not be seen elsewhere, as well as allow us to showcase work of brilliant magnitude.  We want to get extremely creative and work with our neighbors here in The Forum Shops, Caesars Palace, The Colosseum and the community to create amazing evenings where art will wrap itself within the worlds of fashion, food and entertainment.” 

Martin Lawrence Galleries is located near the Atlantis Fountain Show and Aquarium. Hours are 10 a.m.  - 11 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. – midnight on weekends. For more information, contact 702-991-5990. Upcoming events at the gallery include an exhibit with Martin Lawrence exclusive artist Robert Deyber on October 14th and 15th, and a spectacular Erte exhibition on December 1st.
